"My name is not Savarkar, my name is Gandhi and Gandhi does not offer an apology to anyone," a combative Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday after he was disqualified from the Lok Sabha. The Congress leader’s remark did not go down well with the Bharatiya Janata Party, with Anurag Thakur saying, “Rahul Gandhi can’t be Savarkar, even in best of his dreams”.
In a series of tweets, Union minister and BJP leader Anurag Thakur on Sunday said that Rahul Gandhi had insulted not just Savarkar, but also Indira Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, and even Mahatma Gandhi.
Here’s what Anurag Thakur said:
“Rahul insults that freedom fighter Veer Savarkar, whose book ‘India’s first freedom struggle’ was translated into Punjabi and Bhagat Singh ji himself went to Ratnagiri to meet Veer Savarkar and got it printed. Only a mindless person can insult Savarkar from whose books Bhagat Singh was making notes in his diary before his execution,” he wrote.
Anurag Thakur said, “Savarkar ji did not earn this respect just like that. All the big leaders of that era bowed down before Savarkar ji's patriotism and courage. Even the Congress had passed a resolution for Savarkar ji in the Kakinada session of 1923.”
Anurag Thakur shared an image of a stamp featuring Savarkar’s photo. He said the stamp was issued during Indira Gandhi ji’s tenure as PM to acknowledge the efforts of Veer Savarkar ji for India’s freedom movement.
The BJP leader also shared a letter written by former PM Indira Gandhi, acknowledging Veer Savarkar “fight and contribution for the freedom movement of India”.
